My colleague Will Hornaday asked me to build his portfolio site that he designed. I built the site on wordpress, and used the viewport theme to achieve the sliding panels of the portfolio pages, then created a custom template for the blog pages. I used jquery to create the fade-in animation as the home page loads, and used this post to figure out how to get the random image to load.

Never use Godaddy and WordPress, but if you do you can try this to fix your speed issues

Scott — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 16:18:49 +0000

I’m writing this as a simple reminder to all people who operate wordpress sites. If you want to run your own copy of wordpress on your own server, do not use godaddy as your server provider.

Now that I’ve had two clients have come back to me regarding performance issues, I must write this in hope to remind others as well as myself to choose a reliable hosting option, and also to offer this solution if you find yourself stuck with godaddy.

Godaddy has introduced a new hosting solution titled 4GH. And if you have your hosting from before sometime this year, chances are you aren’t using it. Now godaddy plans on moving it’s customers to this new platform, but you can do it yourself if they haven’t found time for you.

Log into your godaddy account
Under Products > Web Hosting click on the domain you’d like to update.
Click on Edit Account Details tab and change your plan to one of the 4GH options(I go with linux)
Close and your done

This should hopefully help your performance issues, and if it doesn’t, then it’s time to move to a new host.
